Excellent. But I don't know the right way to pronounce this beer's name. However, I don't expect to be in a bar any time soon where I might practice saying it.

Youse guyz are a bad influence on me. I would never of known about this model but for a thread posted here by runamuckchuck: o-gaugeforum.com/thread/11389/bucyrus-steam-shovel-scale-rails. When I investigated it I was so intrigued by what seemed to be a great scale replica at a knock-down price I took the plunge and have not been disappointed:
I previewed this earlier in the week but have not yet assembled all the included details. However I have tracked down a lot of information about it and these are better views taken when it was made some 16 years ago:
‘The included booklet is at pains to point out that this is a static/display model not meant to be run but as a scale replica I can live with that. The packaging in itself is a big tribute to South Milwaukee, which is not otherwise a place I would know much about.

A recent addition to the collection, a little Lionel 9054 from 1977:  A very good friend and former ad exec for JC Penney sent me this as he dispositions most of his O-gauge collection. Likely a promotional item celebrating Penney's 75th anniversary, I'm glad to have it. A terrific memento from a long career.  |

Stopped in on our anniversary weekend and looked at this. Same as you I was amazed. AND the price was reduced. SOLD! Left with one. Children and grandchildren were shocked at the detail. Thanks for mentioning that YOU too couldn't resist!

I really doubt we'll see anything like this produced again so I am treating it as a bucket list product. My elder brother much admires it but I'll have to keep the Grandsons' HAND's OFF!!!!
